[It is because they were set on that one linear path for so long that it's so hard to break from it. Even now, when they have nothing else to lose- they lost their lives already. But Noct's words are a wake-up call from it all, a very simple truth that Ignis' mind has yet to accept. To get used to it.
Noctis is not a King. Ignis is not an advisor. They have no duties to the Crown here.
His head tilts into the touch, a soft sigh slipping past his lips. It's so comforting, in a way that words cannot describe it. The kiss sends a shiver that has nothing to do with cold and such soft touch is making his heart almost beat out of his chest. This feels... good. Normal. Like it was meant to be from a very long time ago.
Both of Ignis' hands come to cup Noct's face- yes, perhaps they are just Ignis and Noctis here, but in a way, Noct will forever be his King. The only person he will ever bow to.]
Then... will you let Ignis protect you, Noct? [He turns his head to press a soft kiss on Noct's palm.] Because that's what I want. This. And that. And everything else that comes with all of it.
